(Yes, right now it's just me making everything)
Editor's Note: My edits were all made to keep the video on one, central topic by editing together relevant commentary from many parts of Hasan's streams to create a storyline that is still followable by the viewer. I also edited in commentary of my own in places, in addition to relevant external information that improves the viewing experience. A lot of edits were made for comedy purposes, or to enhance the comedic timing of certain beats, but never to misrepresent Hasan's point of view.

About Hasan:
Hasan Piker is Political Commentator turned Twitch Streamer (#13) known for his Turkish heritage and leftist takes, often speaking on topics like Socialism, Communism, Capitalism, and Marxism (and occasionally 9/11). He loves reacting to political news, and occasionally goes on IRL adventures with his friends. He likes to react to popular media content with his audience as well, such as Jubilee, JCS (Jim Can't Swim), Joe Rogan, Andrew Tate, Ben Shapiro, Steven Crowder, True Crime, trending Twitter posts or TikToks, and other creative videos.
As George Lucas said, "The problem with making movies in the Hollywood system is that you can't lose money." And as he pointed out "I know a lot of Soviet directors that have a lot more freedom than I have; all they have to worry about is not criticizing the government."
Capitalist innovation is Elon musk making a blue check mark a subscription
You’re telling me Steve Jobs was a charlatan? *proceeds to make shocked Pikachu face 😮
Nah
Yeah, I think it was probably Noam Chomsky who I first heard describing how this works. He was talking about MIT specifically, but it's broadly applicable. Universities essentially being farms for the new 'innovations' which would then be distributed to the corporations to repackage them as products. Meanwhile all we hear from business, and elected officials is the glorious capacity of markets to innovate. It's absurd.
you describe this really well, thx for the great info, i wish more people were thinking and talking about this
@@LokiBeckonswow Unfortunately, it's one of those things that business knows, but everyone just chooses not to talk about it. I guess that's why I picked it up from Chomsky. Those things rely heavily on the propaganda model he lays out in 'Manufacturing Consent'.
imagine where we would be with the conservative mentality of “sMalL GovErMenT “ putting faith on rich individuals has never worked
and the 'big government' they complain about is really just regulatory capture of the government's levers of power by capitalists, otherwise we would have no answer as to who pushed and lobbied for the telecommunications act in the first place.
Socialized costs become Corporate profits. This is why we can't have nice things.
All human advancement is a collective endeavor.
true, maybe we should socialise the profits? actually, fck that, let's hoard it in offshore tax havens, that's way better actually /s
Trigger Warning: Steve Jobs. Anyway, thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoy the video :)

You commie
Should have given a trigger warning for that garbage PragerU.
I live in a city in Colorado with a municipality funded ISp and it's literally the best internet I've ever had
Best part about Longmont isn't even the speed, it's never having to deal with the assholes at Comcast.
What price and speed? I'm just curious.
@@aliadeeb6859 it's called Nextlight. My plan works out to like ~$70 a month. It's Gigabit and your speed is really going to end up being determined by your router. There was also a fee for them to lay the fiber optic cable to my house but I don't remember how much that was
60/mo for gigabit fiber. Took a while to roll out in the city but very future-proof.
God I just imagined what content could look like in a world without digital enclosure and where IP law didn’t have to be about protecting the livelihoods of artists
Is IP law best described as being about protecting the livelihood of artists?
@@hologro Meh, it’s probably better described as being about preventing plagiarism by determining who owns the “right” to “copy” a work. Because we treat corporations as people though, the idea is perverted from the start
the cia developed touch screens??? lets gooooo another cia dub
It can't be overstated how remarkably restrained that post from Linus was lol. That self-imposed break from leading linux seems to have been good to him.
Das Crazy!
oh well back to my 9-5
I’m sure hasan already knows about this, but what he was talking about at the end with comparing other nations to each other is actually the study of comparative politics where you try to understand why two relatively similar (geographically, economically, etc… )states end up having different outcomes in the present, I did a study on how turkey is experiencing “democratic backsliding” and Greece still has a relatively strong democracy. I believe another one of my class mates actually did a study on India and China like hasan mentioned
Yes Hasan has taken a 200 level political science course in his time in college
Interested in the india/China comparison
No one person did. The whole industry was heading towards touch-screen interfaces and few physical buttons. The LG Prada preceded the iPhone by a year, there are other examples.
I fucking love Current Affairs magazine.
I thought military tech is commercialized into modern tech
Privatized into... Yeah, totally.
okay that ad segue was godlike lmao
hasan opening the chatters profile at the end was too fucking funny lol
I'm glad this one went the way it did. Thanks HR team.
Can recommend Marianna Mazzucato's Entrepreneurial State - It seems like this video may have been informed by that given it's discussion of both ARPAnet and the Iphone
Kind of the same happened here in Germany with the ISP's, because of them it's dogshit and pricey as fuck.
When you hear Linus talk about Richard There is a telling statement where he says "we both want the same thing we just disagree on how we get there." Not to mention he's very mindful on his place in the open source community he has tried to take as many step backs as he can because he's seen the osteophacation of leadership. Social movements are social movements whether it be a Cult a governing body or an open source program if a strong leader doesn't create a decentralized self checking organization for when they're gone the whole system will fail. Long live the kernel.
This is hasan at his best, coverting for liberals and informative for tankies
I’ve been saying this shit for years.
Why didn't the universities keep the parents then charge companies licensing fees to use the tech. Then use the revenue from those license fees to make college free?
I honestly wonder (and I may be wrong) if it has something to do with state aid to public universities. The government provides $$ to universities and I could definitely see how something like that could have an impact
Is pragerU pronounced like gif or gif?
its called a HACK where im from

No, Nokia did. It's called the Nokia 7710 and came out in 2004!
more like warfare breeds innovation
Yahoo was before Google, so where did Yahoo get their's from?
stanford
Ox cart to Mercedes in One Generation 🇨🇳 it's true .... Ni hao
and gps is now monitored by the us military
To drive this home this is how Abasised Ottoman and Mughal did stuff. That is how House of Wisdom in Baghdad came to be. That is how Grandnada made alot of science development too. Funding from the government and big rich as merchants and donations.
DARPA by the way failed in 90% of their projects. Only 10% payed off.
Ngl, ever since I heard google and internet was made by the government or in a government funded institutions, this makes me love the gov even more. Too bad the gov doesn’t like us so we gotta hate us gov
Jobs was a marketing genius... not technical
Yes the government does the research and development with tax dollars and then sells the patent to the highest bidder.
9.6 ad jebait
Why does he keep talking about the debate bro sphere calling him a tankie? Let people forget man its the internet like he said to cenk the other day
Nationalize Alphabet and RUclips
Many interesting takes. However, many times the innovation made by for example universities can be refined in corporations. Like GSM technology, internet , world wide web etc. I would argue that this model works and does add value to people's lives.
While private sector does indeed many times use the studies and innovation from public sector as a basis, it is not all doom and gloom. (Private sector can wreak havoc with the same model as well at a latter time.)
Ur really annoying and just confidently stupid
@toms5996 If it can be refined in private corporations it can be refined elsewhere in other institutions as well because the people(researchers and engineers) are the ones who do it. You don't need a boot to the neck or a monetary incentive to better something or invest in its progress. Science has happened over the years because scientists where more than anything curious about the world.
The only thing the private sector adds is the exploitation of labor
Have you considered that it could be developed better through more publicly-paid-and-owned development instead of giving it to middlemen? Who pay laborers to develop it anyway, but only so far as needed to squeeze extra money out of it instead of its actual public use and benefit for people.
@@stargrace420it's sad we are so conditioned to think that "free" market capitalism is god's gift
I already knew this stuff. No bullshit, i conceptualized a phone in 2014 that had features just arriving today.
So the government can help invent things and build its foundations, and the private sector can build off upon it. Sounds like a great combination! Both public and private investment.
@@ecnalms851 and yet, every single country that has “a combination of public and private investment” is a flaming mess every few years because private sectors ALWAYS push for austerity and austerity in government spending KILLS PEOPLE.
